Worked great when you were summing a dozen CDs, but can't seem to find the documentation on that feature right now. Anyway, it only takes me about 15 seconds to manually do the comparison, since I checksum the ISO in a terminal, then checksum the burn in the same terminal. The two sums are only separated by a couple lines making it easy to see any differences.
